Walk into an Indian court, and you’ll spot a striking statue: a blindfolded woman. That’s Queen Gandhari from the epic Mahabharata.

Queen Gandhari is a remarkable figure in the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. She was the wife of King Dhritarashtra and mother to 100 sons, known as the Kauravas.

Duryodhan, the eldest Kaurava prince in the Mahabharata, is a character that evokes strong emotions.
